I have a wish list of luxury items I'd like to own, beautiful things that really mean something to me. I've never put pen to paper and committed myself to it-perhaps it would make it more 'real' if I did (isn't that what they say?). However, it's made up of a mixture of items that I can afford, but have never got round to buying (i.e. Disney Couture magic castle necklace), items that I would have to save for (Lulu Guinness lip clutch) and those that I could probably never afford, aren't for sale or couldn't purchase without being racked with guilt for the rest of my life (Chanel 2.55 bag)! As I turn 30 in a couple of weeks, I've been pondering this wish list and indeed my 'life-list'. My life list is very eclectic and includes ambitious things (like winning an Oscar!) to the bizarre (eating fries in an American diner from a red plastic basket like in the US tv shows I watched growing up) and then natural, more obvious things like getting married and having children. Anyway, this week, I struck another item off my fantasy wish list, by purchasing a pair of Charlotte Olympia shoes. I must add that this list sees more action than my life-list which has been pretty redundant for years! Recently I've purchased Terry De Havilland wedges, Miu Miu shoes, a Papa Razzi clutch, LAMB shoes and many more things, so I think I'm doing not too badly so far. I did give myself such a hard time for spending so much money on these shoes though, when (a) I don't have a job and (b) I already own hundreds of shoes. However I feel I've fulfilled something in mentally striking it off the list, albeit completely superficial! The pictures say it all, I'm sure you don't need me to talk about how much I love the large stuck-on style platform etc etc. I'm quite happy just gazing and stroking them and feel really lucky, not to mention warm and fuzzy, that they are mine. Now I just need to work on getting a man and that Academy Award!
